French Canadians and other city organiza-
lions. The torch light procession through
the city was 4 brilliant feature OF the affair.
Depututions from Ottawa, Quebec, Kingston
and Hamilton were present. AT least 5000
men carried torches as they filed past st. Law
renee hall, on the balcony Of which O'Brien
stood. The streets were Illuminated by cleo
trio lights and fireworks, and bunting and
flags foated from many buildings and cheers
rent the air. Spread out in front
Of the hall and In the neighboring streets
were At least 30, 900 people. Many cries OF
sDown with Lansdownen were heard. O'Brien
said If Lansdowne witnessed this sight In the
principal city of CBnada he would recognize
the fact that his trouble In Canada was not
over, but only commencing, and challenged
Lansdowne to step outside his little orange
preserve in Ontario and obtain one spontane-
Gus demonstration Of respect from end to end
of The dominion. At the subs6 queDt banquet
O'Brian announced the close OF his mission,
which he declared more successful than he
had hoped.

WASHINGTON, May 23.-Ex-Senator Van
Wyck has written a letter TO the secretary OF
the interior asking that the appointment OF
appraisers OF abandoned military reservations
in Nebraska and Colorado, authorized under
the act OF 1854 to be sold, be delayed until
the next meeting of congress. He states that
when congress last adjourned an amendment
to this act was upon the calendar, having the
unanimous Endorsement Of the committee on
public lands, the effect az which would have
been, had it passed, to dispose Of these lands
TO honcsteaders, instead OF by sale TO posi-

has no doubt that the appraisal and sale will
be delayed until congress has another chance
TO amend the law.

CHICAGO, May 26.-During the raids which
followed the anarchistic uprising OF a year
ago this month, the revolutionary library Of
the order was captured by the police and the
books declared confscated 10 the state. They
are now in a vault In the central station,
having been preserved In a view OF the posi-
bility that the supreme court may grant the
condemned men a new trial. The executive
committee Of the anarchists, however, have
been quietly getting together, both from
various parts Of this country aud Europe,
duplicates of the works which were confs-
Gated, and in a secret circular which has Just
been issued they announce that the library
has been completely restored aud that cata-
logues can be had 10y members OF the society

The library includes all the principal works
Of Herr Most, FIR. LaSalle, Fitchel and other
bright and shining lights OF the ultra revolu-
tionary school, and will probably have a large

The Hamilton Spectator, In its account OF
what occurred Monday night, asserts that
shots were fired from O'Brien's carriage be-
fore the attacking party had touched a trig-
ger. O'Brien said this was the meanest and
most malign statement yet made. 'ln our
opinion how will this statement affect
the remainder OF your tourr s far
as 1t relates to the Canadian cities
which / have yet to visit it may have a most
dangerous and alarming result. Seeing 1t is
a downright falsehood Ii must have been writ

Before leaving Hamilton he received an
anonymous letter threatening his life In case
he visited Kingston or Ottawa. This was
dated East Syracuse, N. Y, May. Is.
